“This agreement with Microsoft highlights the compelling value of our Microsoft-centric applications and our unique position as a leading provider of enterprise applications and online services in China,” said Peter Yip, chief executive officer for CDC Corp. and executive chairman for CDC Software.

As part of the first phase of the agreement, the companies will offer the Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM platform together with the CDC Software c360 CRM add-ons as on-site applications in China. CDC Software’s c360 CRM add-on products and development tools for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform have been delivered to more than 1,000 customers worldwide in more than eight languages through a network of more that 450 channel partners.

“China represents a strategic growth opportunity for our CRM business,” said Brad Wilson, general manager for Microsoft Dynamics CRM at Microsoft. “Our alliance with CDC Software will enable us to leverage its popular c360 CRM add-on products, its deep knowledge of Chinese markets and channels, and its nationwide infrastructure to accelerate delivery of innovative products and services to this important high-growth market.”

The second phase of the agreement includes plans for the companies to develop and deliver Microsoft Dynamics CRM applications as hosted, on-demand services in China. The SaaS CRM offerings, planned for December 2006, will leverage the broad infrastructure established throughout China by CDC Software’s sister division, China.com, a leading Internet services and online game company. The China.com network, which took over five years to build, is established nationwide in 30 provinces and four municipalities, includes servers in all major Chinese cities and serves more than 5 million unique visitors each day. The China.com network currently supports the company’s widely used online games, thriving portal business and hosting services for more than 1,700 enterprises in China.

“With the growing demand among enterprise and midmarket customers for SaaS solutions, the introduction of Microsoft Dynamics CRM applications as hosted services will provide these customers with rapid implementation, decreased application downtime, and overall cost savings,” said Robert Bernard, general manager of the Global ISV group at Microsoft. “We are pleased to work with CDC Software to further integrate our technology and extend the value of the Microsoft® platform to our CRM customers in China and abroad.”

“The c360 CRM add-on applications have proven to be very successful in North America and around the globe,” Yip said. “We are bullish on the opportunity to work with Microsoft as its Microsoft CRM strategy expands in China.”

The industry-specific solutions are used by more than 5,000 customers worldwide within the manufacturing, financial services, health care, home building, real estate, and wholesale and retail distribution industries. The company completes its offerings with a full continuum of services that span the life cycle of technology and software applications, including implementation, project consulting, outsourced business services, application management and offshore development.
